> We've basically been watching Google gradually re-discover all the tricks of supercomputing (and other high performance areas)
Google isn't claiming to have invented water cooling. This article recaps their talk at Hot Chips where they showed some details of their implementation.
Data center cooling is also a different beast than supercomputer cooling. Datacenter cooling operates at a larger scale and has different needs for maintenance operations like maintenance cycles.
There are also some interesting notes in there about new things Google is doing, like the direct-die cooling.
Water cooling is a big field. Data center operations is a big field. There is interesting content in the article.
